Game Time: A top athlete on the run from anti-doping watchdogs
A few weeks back, one of India’s top athletes ran several seconds faster than her previous best timing, and subsequently qualified for the World Championship. This caught the attention of a global anti-doping watchdog, and since then the athlete has been AWOL, allegedly on the run from them. In this episode, host Mihir Vasavda is joined by Indian Express’ Nihal Koshie to talk about the entire affair, the prevalence of doping in Indian sports, and how dope testers monitor athletes.
